I was unproductive this afternoon. The weather conspired against me. It has been raining since Sunday. Today the power went out for three hours. I left for a friend’s house where we watched one of his DVDs and chatted.

I have been struggling to get dual monitors to work with the proprietary ATI video driver and Linux kernel 2.6.6. ATI released a new driver just today. I thought they may fix my problems.. but so far no joy. Well, at least I figured out how to make the fglrx driver load without crashing (pre-load intel-agp), got the cordless Logitech mouse to work (use Explorer as the mouse name) and *finally* got OpenOffice to work (fixed with install of Fedora Core 2 test 3). I’m counting my blessings. Oh yeah, oowriter is praise-worthy.
